1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A cross-sectional sero-surveillance study was conducted across the five districts of Sikkim to determine the seroprevalence of Brucella and Leptospira antibodies among veterinary and para-veterinary personnel. Serum samples were tested for Brucella using the Rose Bengal Test, Standard Agglutination Test, and ELISA (IgG/IgM), while Leptospira antibodies were detected using ELISA (IgG/IgM). Brucella seroprevalence was 18.8%, and Leptospira seroprevalence was 20.5%. The findings indicate a considerable level of exposure to both infections in this occupational group, underscoring the need for strengthened surveillance and preventive measures within a One Health framework.
